At the 5th China International 3D World Forum & Exhibition in Shenzhen, China, I presented “3D Decoding and 3D Output Considerations for Set-top Boxes and Blu-ray Players.” Sigma Designs was a sponsor this time, since the turnout was so great when I presented at the Fall 2009 show (~250 attendees each time). Lots of work being done on 3DTV in China.

South Korea’s major IPTV service providers plan to ride on the current 3DTV boom by launching 3D services in the latter half of this year, following plans by the terrestrial, cable, and satellite providers to start 3D services on a trial basis.

Global 3DTV shipments to hit 78 million by 2015 from 4.2 million in 2010, iSuppli says. Cross-industry trials of 3D satellite-transmission to kick off this spring, SES says.

The new BDP-S470 ($200), along with the previously announced BDP-S570 model ($250) and the BDV-E770W and BDV-E570 Blu-ray Disc home theater systems, will be 3D capable with firmware updates available this summer. Comments are closed Lately, I’ve been posting about various CE devices (such as HDTVs and Blu-ray players) incorporating various on-line streaming features. So what is really the trend here? The end game for CE devices (3DTVs, HDTVs, Blu-ray players, media players, etc.) and cable/IPTV set-top boxes is to support personalization. Consumers want to be able to quickly and easily personalize their devices to meet their needs. Some people may want Netflix, others Amazon VOD. Some may want weather information, others stock market information. The personalization will even depend on the device. The personalization capability is why there is such a large interest in using solutions like Google’s Android, Yahoo! TV Widgets, etc. for many CE devices and set-top boxes. Comments are closed |
